Is there anyone who listens to Shawn talk about money use bucks rather than dollars? I can't tale this so I change the channel.

Before you throw stones, you may want to check the spelling/use of your thread title, just trying to be helpful .....

Bucks is a synonym for dollars.

And also: PRONUNCIATION is the way in which a word or name is pronounced

And if she is talking about $10, isn't that a sawbuck? At least that's what I thought.

I don't like it when she says Bucks either. It sounds too "flip" or something. Frankly, I am tired of her and just don't enjoy watching her. I always want to push her glasses up or move her hair out of her face. Something about her just bugs me, so I don't watch her. I am sure she is a lovely person, but she is definitely not one of my favorite hosts.

That is just one of the obnoxious things Shawn does and says.

@Puppy Lips Agree. I'd rather hear "dollars." She also constantly says "cuz" instead of "because."

Smart cookie that Shawn. Nobody wants to part with their hard earned "Dollars" these days but saying "Bucks" distances the thoughts from your budget to just spending a few bucks on something you jou just want. C'mon, it'll be fun, it's just a few bucks.

@Bella2022

Looks like you need to learn how to spell before posting.

Oh great, another pile on Shawn thread, with no regard for those who may enjoy watching her. That insults the viewer, too. We all have our favorites and those less so.

That said, I respect the viewers who like hosts that I prefer not to watch. I also avoid saying negative things about hosts, in general, for this very reason.

Lastly, women need to support other women, not try to tear them down. We would never see men sitting around talking about other men in this way. They don't play that game. Why do we feel this is necessary?

Men play exactly the same game.

Only with a slightly modified different rule book.

Re: Pronuncition

BlueFinch — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 16:29:46 GMT

@Johnnyeager I've observed countless men's behaviors in my family and workplace. If they have something negative to say, they'll just say it directly to the person and move on. They also don't bring it back up again, over and over. They're done.

I can't recall ever having to pull a male coworker aside to tell them to stop gossiping. In fact, some of them complained about witnessing it. Unfortunately, not the same for the women.

Maybe it's the modified 'different' rule book making issues appear a little more acceptable. We probably ought to look at that book .

It does seem rather crude. She's not the most polished, so it's not surprising.

@Bella2022

I haven't noticed .... but your heading refers to her "pronuncition" (sic) - does she not pronounce "bucks" properly?

@Bella2022 - Do you mean you can't "take" it anymore? Or do you really have a tale to tell about her pronunciation of the word "bucks"?

In answer to what you ask: no, it doesn't bother me which word she uses. If you simply don't like this particular host, for whatever reason, that's a different conversation.

Oh how very true in so many ways. But the goodie two shoes on here just hate when you give an opinion, but that's ok with me, because I totally agree with you,. would never spend my time watching the "COOL ONE". When she's on I'm off.
